Great workout at home G!

[muscle_g]

Great workout at home G!

Thanks Coke, I have alot of stuff in my home gym to choose from. If I was a full time raw lifter I'd quit going to the gym and just workout at home by myself.

[muscle_g]

I relized that I have put week 1 on all my workouts this week, that's wrong I am on week 8(dumass me )

Next week I am gonna be back on my original split but I am gonna replace declines with speed bench. This is what it's gonna look like
Mon- Bench
Tue- Squats
Wed- Auxiliary
Thu- Speed Bench
Fri- Deadlifts
Sat- Auxiliary

I love using this split but alot of times after heavy shirted benching on Monday's I am not fully recovered by Thursday's heavy close-grip Declines. So I am gonna do heavy shirted bench on Mon and light Speed bench on Thursday.
